Chintan Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I was out on vacation for Labor Day weekend, so I wasn't available to find the hotspots this month. Good work jraenar! :) And thanks to TigerBaby, jerdge, and Ghuxalia for trying out coordinates! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghuxalia Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I know that there's discussion of the triangulation and correction earlier in here and the Moon thread. Are there any bits of code linked anywhere that let you just put in the test points and find the hotspot?Also I think I read somewhere that mars hotspot is always the same amount displaced from the moon one. How much is it exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chintan Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Try this: Â lat=70.99999999&lon=-178 Â Â Are there any bits of code linked anywhere that let you just put in the test points and find the hotspot? I actually just recently made this google doc that does just that: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eq3sCqMdlEnDPQ2EyF7Wc3Lp0kKrsZu7S4Uele91x0o/edit?usp=sharing Try it out. You'll have to save a copy to use it (you can just save it to your own Google Drive). Try this: This month the moon hotspot is -68, 72. So enter -68 72 100% as one of the moon test points, and give it a few seconds to calculate. It should narrow down the number of possibilities to 3, and one of them has nearly 99% probability of being the correct one. The mars location for that possibility is 70.99999999, -178, so that's a good point to test on mars. :) Edited October 2, 2014 by Chintan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should add a few cells at the top that have the most probable location so you don't have to scroll through all that shit to find it.
